Today I think I will use the word as a noun and a verb. This morning I will be going to Miss B's classroom to talk about adoption and there are many many young sprouts in her classroom. Bayat has shared some of her adoption story already, and we've had many conversations about what to share and perhaps what not to share, that is PRIVATE stuff. . . .not everyone needs to know stuff. . . ok, so today I will be bombarded by questions by 1st graders I'm sure and I'm also sure that I'll be developing some sprouting minds by the time we are done talking about adoption.

Not sure how else to contact you but I wanted to ask if it was ok to use your sprouting image as part of a website logo? Don't want to post my personal details up here but if you just reply to this I'll keep checking. Thanks :)
